Pike’s Peak Ascent 2011

I know, I know…I am a slacker.  My blog has been neglected for too long…I will hopefully catch up soon! :)

My amazing hubby, however, is not a slacker!  In August he completed his third Pike’s Peak Ascent (a 1/2 marathon up a 14,000 foot mountain…)

I love this picture of him!

Our friend Tim from college came out to Colorado to run the race with Hans…every time Hans runs this race he says he’ll never do it again…and then a year will pass and Tim will call and say he’s coming out and they should run together!  Peer pressure at it’s best!

Of course my camera died right after that, so I didn’t get any pics of them finishing.  These are from Hans’ dad…

At the summit…

I’m so proud of Hans, he’s an amazing athlete and an inspiration to our boys…I’m pretty sure one of these days he’s going to chasing them up mountains! :)
